We have arrived
The journey went well and Corey behaved well. He really liked the planes, trains and buses. Today was our settle in day. We still got lots done. We unpacked, met friendly staff, was shown around the floor of the hospital, were shown where to go grocery shopping, had Corey assessed by there physio (Jason), then assessed again by the doctor (Tony) who is preparing the stem cell treatment. I explained to Jason that if his sessions were to be of any benefit, he would need to incorporate play, as that’s all what Corey is interested in.
Tomorrow Corey has to give blood for testing and also urine and stool samples. I was a little disheartened today because I discovered some of China’s plumbing and building faults. Also the containers given to me to collect Corey’s samples were not sealed. I don’t know just how good the samples are going to be if the containers are not sterile. But before going to bed I sat out in the common area and spoke to some of the other people here who have already received treatment and the results that they (and others who have only just left) have had are incredible. So once again I’m keeping an open mind and going to try and get the most out of being here for Corey.
